OkCupid Has A New Planned Parenthood Feature

OkCupid Stands With Planned Parenthood & Now You Can See If Your Matches Do, Too

The deeply polarizing 2016 election caused couples to split up at record rates due to political differences, and plenty of women (*raises hand*) aren't interested in a relationship with a man who doesn't support Planned Parenthood.

The online dating company announced this new feature in a statement: "Today, we’re introducing a Planned Parenthood Badge to help our members connect over what’s important to them," the company wrote in a blog post. "The badge will read '#IStandWithPP' and will be prominently displayed on the profile of every OkCupid member who has publicly responded 'no' to the question 'Should the government defund Planned Parenthood?'"

According to OkCupid, over 80 percent of respondents have answered "no" to the question. (There's hope!)

"We are really proud to be on the only dating app that can reflect back what is happening in our communities and what people care about," OkCupid Chief Marketing Officer Melissa Hobley told Glamour. "When we talked to our community and looked at our data, we saw that Planned Parenthood had incredible support. And we saw that it mattered to young women in particular."
